What M3 Partners does

M3 Partners, LP is a New York-based, privately held corporate advisory and restructuring firm founded in 2014 by Managing Partner Mohsin Meghji. The firm is structured as a limited partnership with no external institutional or PE/VC investors, and operates from a single headquarters office at 1700 Broadway, 19th Floor. Its 22-person senior team is drawn from leading restructuring consultancies, investment banks, and operating companies (AlixPartners, Alvarez & Marsal, Jefferies, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Ankura, FTI, EY, PwC, and major law firms), and several members hold prior C-suite or CRO experience at large financial institutions.

The firm delivers five core professional service lines: Turnaround and Restructuring, Performance Improvement, Transaction Advisory, Interim Management, and Testimony and Litigation Support. Engagements span in-court and out-of-court restructurings, CRO/interim executive placements, buy- and sell-side diligence, and expert witness work. M3 has served as advisor or CRO on marquee distressed situations including Sears Holdings, JCPenney, Toys "R" Us, Blockbuster, Eastman Kodak, Frontier Communications, BlockFi, and Mallinckrodt, and has delivered 50+ expert testimonies over the past three years. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is human-capital-intensive advisory delivered by senior professionals.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with deal flow generated through institutional relationships with private equity firms, financial institutions, distressed investors, and law firms rather than marketing campaigns. The firm has been recognized with four industry awards (Turnaround Management Association in 2007 and 2014, the Miami Herald in 2010, and Global M&A Network in 2017). Revenue is generated from engagement-based, quote-driven professional services fees, with senior professionals producing outcomes such as the $40 billion+ in debt and equity transactions credited to individual practitioners.
